Charlene Choi Cheuk Yin yesterday shared her nude photo, which spread like wild fire as it was almost re-tweeted 7000 times as fans joked that she was open minded. Actually the nude photo was from Ah Sa’s childhood. Ah Sa covered her chest but joked that when she was little she loved to be in the buff. “Truly shameless!”

“Papa yesterday found this sexy photo, hahahaha! It’s to funny! When I was little I went to the country, whenever I saw places with water I would immediately get naked to play with water, hahahaha! The other children would at least leave a pair of underwear. As for me…I am truly shameless!” Fans said that the photo was cute, some said that she was too brave and too open minded.

Director Bryan Singer could not wait to express his excitement for the latest cast of “X-Men: Days Of Future Past” as he recently announced that Chinese actress Fan Bingbing will be joining the sequel of the Marvel superhero film prequel, “X-Men: First Class” according to MTV UK.

After making appearance in this year’s summer superhero blockbuster “Iron Man 3″, the Qingdao-born actress got herself another shot in Hollywood by playing teleporting mutant Blink in the film alongside the original cast of “X-Men” (2000) which includes Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Anna Paquin, and the stars in “X-Men: First Class” (2011) such as James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence.

Furthermore, Daniel Cudmore will reprise his role as Colossus and “Twilight” star Booboo Stewart has been recruited to play a yet-to-be-announced character in Singer’s directorial effort.

Fan was previously seen in box-office record breaking Chinese films like “Double Exposure” and “Lost In Thailand”. This year, the 31-year-old will be shooting “The Lady In The Portrait”, “The Moon And The Sun” and Empress Wu Ze Tian”. It was also reported that the 2006 Golden Horse Award winner is in talks to star in the sequel of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.

Singer’s most recent box office success is “Jack The Giant Slayer”, a loose adaptation of “Jack And The Beanstalk” about a farmer boy named Jack who tries to save the princess from the race of giants but unfortunately triggers a war between the humans and giants.

Set in the 1970s, “X-Men: Days Of Future Past” is set to start production on 18 July 2013.

Kim Tae-hee has officially admitted she is in a relationship with superstar Rain, who is currently serving the mandatory military service. Their romance was first reported in early January.

Asked about her relationship with Rain during the press junket for her new SBS series,” Kim said, “We have just started dating and are getting to know each other better, and not much has changed. I was concerned and felt sorry for the crew as news broke on the first day of the new year, prior to shooting of the drama. But Rain told me that my hard work will pay off.”

Earlier this year, Rain was grounded for a week after it was revealed that he had been bunking off military duties to meet up with Kim.

Prosecutors said Park was the heaviest user of the four, receiving more than 180 injections of the drug at two cosmetic surgery clinics between 2011 and 2012, for surgical procedures that did not actually take place.

The authorities have also charged the doctors who illegally administered the propofol injections, and an artiste management agency representative who had obstructed their investigations.

Propofol is a fast-acting sedative which relaxes the user and gives the user a feeling of euphoria.

However, it has a number of side effects, and can affect the user’s respiratory and cardiac functions.

Propofol is the same drug that killed US superstar Michael Jackson, who died from an overdose in 2009.

Playing the role of Linghu Chong in the highly-criticised Yu Zheng-produced adaptation, “Swordsman”, actor Wallace Huo stated that he had been expecting the disapprovals since he first decided to take on the role.

As reported on Popular Asians, the Taiwanese actor, however, clarified that “Swordsman” is meant for a different audience, stating, “I am personally against adaptations that differed from the original, but despite its changes, I was quite impressed with the script. I believe that many younger audiences are not familiar with the original, so “Swordsman” is for them.”

When asked about the comments made by fans who wanted his character to choose Joe Chen’s Dongfang Bubai instead of Ren Yingying, Wallace stated, “I know many fans cannot understand why he doesn’t respond to Dongfang Bubai’s pursuits after everything she has done for him. But the ending is set, and nothing can change it.”
However, he agreed that Linghu Chong and Dongfang Bubai’s relationship was a fascinating one and that the two characters cannot have a simple ending.

The popularity of the Linghu Chong and Dongfang Bubai relationship also mirrored the relationship between the former lovers, Wallace Hu and Joe Chen, who became a couple through 2004′s Taiwanese drama, “100% Senorita”.
Wallace explained, “We were young back then. Many things have changed in the past few years. Both of us have experienced different setbacks and different matters, so we have both changed dramatically.”

When asked if Joe Chen remains to be his ideal type, he answered, “Not bad. She’s good, and a pretty girl,” but continued, “I like low-profile girls. I also like those who are forgiving, and someone who I can take out with and manage a house.”

Korean actor Park Si Hoo, who previously starred in popular dramas like “The Princess’ Man”, spent almost 10 hours with Korean police on Friday, to assist with investigations into claims that he had sexually assaulted a female aspiring entertainer, reported Korean media.

The 22-year-old woman had earlier alleged that Park got her drunk at a bar, then took her to his home and sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious on February 15.

The police announced over the weekend that they have received new evidence on the case from Park’s lawyers during their session with Park, in the form of message logs between Park’s accuser and her friend.

In one exchange which took place after the incident, the aspiring entertainer apparently expressed that she would attempt to play the victim when she went to the police, after her friend suggested that she ask Park for a 1 billion won (S$1.1 million) settlement fee.

However, the police pointed out that none of these exchanges have managed to prove that their sexual encounter was consensual as Park had claimed, adding that they would continue to investigate the matter.

Park, who was mobbed by reporters when he left the police station on Friday, did not comment on the investigations, only saying that “the truth will prevail”.

Overseas broadcasters have reportedly put negotiations over the purchase of the broadcasting rights to Park’s latest drama serial, “Cheongdamdong Alice”, on hold, in light of the controversy surrounding Park’s sexual assault case.

In a recent interview, Tangren producer Karen Tsai revealed, “Although the modern-day “Bu Bu Jing Qing” will integrate elements of business competition, the main plot will still revolve around love.”

Earlier, Nicky Wu, Cecilia Liu, Ye Zuxin, and Damian Lau were confirmed to appear in “Bu Bu Jing Qing”. However, actor Kevin Cheng has announced that he will not be returning for the drama due to conflicting schedules.

Meanwhile, no official news has been announced regarding Lin Gengxin’s participation in the sequel, as the actor is currently mired in a dispute with his management company, Tangren.

It was also rumoured that mainland Chinese actor Sun Yizhou – known for his role in the “iPartment” series, may be joining the team as well.

“Bu Bu Jing Xin” recently released an alternate ending, in which the modern version of “Fourth Prince” (Nicky Wu) is revealed to be the driver of the car that crashed into Zhang Xiao (Cecilia Liu) and sent her back to the Qing Dynasty as “Ruoxi”.
